i have slugs

Believe it or not, I did! (In between working of course!) Already sent an email to Jim asking for and receiving his recipes too! :-) Thanks again Jim

HOLY COW! Ya did?!? Well then, my hat's off to ya ^-^!

Hey what can I say, it was a slow morning! :-)

Morning or evening or what ever. Remember I said I was going to take an ambien at 9 and go to bed? Well at 9:30 I did exactly that little thing. Took my night medicine and vitamins, took to muscle relaxers the doc had perscribed for a pulled muscle in my back and took an ambien. Just as I was putting the bottle back in the cabinet, sweet thing came in, "oh no, you didn't take one of those did you." Yep, says I. "I had already put one in your medicine." Guess what gang? I SLEPT GOOD LAST NIGHT.

As for me I don't believe in ghosts. Only person I ever heard of that saw and talked to a real ghost was King Saul. He had gone to the Witch of Endor to try to get in touch with The Prophet Samuel. When Samuel appeared it scared the heck out of her. First time to ever conjure up the real thing. Satan, I believe in. Demons I believe in. Ghosts of people who died. Nope. When your dead you are gone, one place or the other. If there is a presence in those places it is demonic and don't play around with it. I don't watch the show you guys are talking about because those guys are messing with something they know nothing about.

Cats6 we are so glad to have you with us. This is the most fun place to be on Dave's.

Tonight I'm searching up the rest of you girls photos so better post your best shot or delete. Jim41 is determined to see what his friends look like.

Cat6, next slow day you have email me for my pics. Good way to pass a morning.

Pics of what Jim? If there are very many or any size at all, I need to send you my yahoo. Work email doesn't take large attachments. I loved the cartoons and especially the MI slug! I used to have them bad in the house I moved from. There was an old sistren cover by the back door, and at night it was covered with the slimy little things. Nasty!

ok, Jim. You win... Here's "I" ^-^

Here's me again after too many treats:

Awwwww..how cute! You're adorable Chez!!!!

Hehe... I have a confession to make: that's really not me.

You're kidding! I never would have guessed! :-)

Is the mint thread still ahead of you guys?

they're yonder slippin away in the horizon eating our slugtrails.... ^-^

Anyone in here ever step on a slug, barefooted???? I did one night when I went out to feed the cats. It was dark and I couldn't see. Kind of dumb to be going out barefooted anyway, but it took alot of scrubbing to make the bottom of my foot feel clean again!

That is a cute picture Chezca. Pretty little kitty.

I've never stepped on a slug barefooted Cat6 but when I was a kid the chickens ran loose around the place. Try getting that out from between your toes.

The pics I was talking about are Kodak Share. You just have to go there to view. No attachments. I just have to send you an invitation to get into the web site. What else is involved I don't know. Just go look, I guess.

Ok Jim, how do we get THE invitation?

Cat6, my sil stepped on one ginormous SLUG a few months back while she was getting her laundry from the garage, and yes, barefoot. I think the whole county heard her scream and yell profanities for a good ten minutes and another 30 minutes for her face to go back to its natural color... She was beet red and I swear ya could see steam risin from her ears! ^-^ I kept telling her to wear her flipflops (if not for the slugs, at least for the pincher bugs that are notorious that time of the year). Well, she got SLUGGED :-) and we were hysterically laughin our butts off while she redirected her anger towards us! hehehehe....

Thank's Chezca and Lynnie for the compliment on the pic. I like the Mimosa's although some do consider them a noxious tree "weed" and they can be.

Forgot to wish eleighe a hardy welcome to this thread last night and sending a welcome to you too cat64129;-) I have been getting some good laugh's as well and yes I have stepped on those slug's/snail's as well while barefoot. By the way....any of you all here get the orange slug's?

iluvcatz, I have alway's been an owner of a cat or two or three or......etc. I cannot imagine my life without one.

Jim I told you to cover your eyes! I don't believe in ghosts either! All I know is don't stay at mother's alone...or go upstairs alone...or be in the house alone...you can stay in the kitchen, it has 5 doors to run out of...and anybody who knows me would never in a million years think for a minute that I believe in ghosts....I'm ridiculously practical, brave to the point of stupid, and do not believe in superstition...everything can be explained with science & logic. I'm Dr Spock with smaller ears. :)
Also you must have slept real good with those muscle relaxers & 2 ambien...good Lord!

Welcome Cat! Can I call you Cat those numbers are just too long. We're not crazy we just need biscuits.....

Chezka, that's exactly how I pictured you! *grin*
I want to ask why your sister needed IV fluids at home like that but I'm afraid we'll go off topic...nah, that would never happen....
and ....uh....slugs need fluid too...

eleighe, welcome from me too, I'm sorry, I was horrified at the thought of seeing so many slugs on a slider and put it out of my head. I don't think the rain is going to let up! I bet September will be really nice & dry.

Hey Ya'll, I used to smoke 5 packs of Marlboroughs a day. This is way more addictive. My wife is jealous of all of you or the lap top. Oh well.

Chezca, I can only imagine the yell's and red face. Where's the camera when you need it? Just email me jimgoodman1@hotmail.com for the invitation to see the pics.

Lynnie, I promise I covered my face but I peeked through my fingers.

Noticed none of you guys commented on bare where the chickens run. Don't blame you. Know how modest you all are.

Well gang, it wasn't blueberry muffins or chocolate chip cookies but...............
Made a late afternoon visit, surprising how come the local seafood restraunt was in such close proximity. Gosh, we were right at it and had not eaten since a slice of cantalope at noon, so twist my arm, I stopped. Didn't want Jo to have to go home and fix supper. I was only thinking of her and this was buffett night. Geez. So I stopped and ate light meal.

The bowl of chicken and sausage gumbo was great. It was so good I decided to try some of the fried frog legs. Since I still had room on my plate I just naturally had to get some of those butterfly shrimp. Naturally I had to have some veggies, so I helped myself to a few cheese filled jalepeno peppers. Guess what was sitting right by them? the hushpuppies and chicken livers. The stuffed crab and fried crab and catfish looked good but I used my will power and left them alone. Anyhow, I was saving room for soft ice cream laced with strawberries and chocolate syrup. Wouldn't you know the ice cream machine was broke and I just had to settle for strawberries and chocolate syrup.

I just had to share.

Oh yeah, before I laid down last night, after I had taken the two ambien and two muscle relaxers, I asked the Good Lord, if He was intending on taking me home last night to please postpone it for one night so Jo wouldn't feel guilty about puttin an ambien in my meds. So if you don't hear form me tomorrow you'll know what happened.

JeezMaryPoppins Jim! 2 ambiens?!? You know they make you do things that you don;t know you;re doin right? Like sleep walkin, sleep drivin, sleep eatin (the buffet gave it away), etcetera etcetera! Let's hope sleep exercisin's one of them! ^-^ (Btw, is Winn Parish familiar to you?)

Well my peeps, July's almost over yet it feels like Fall here in the Bay Area... Totally bums me out :-( It was like 65 degrees today! Grrrrrr! The plants and SLUGS must be lovin it tho... Oh well...

AARG!!! It soooooooo late again and I can't stay to write much!! I've GOT to get to my 'SlugPals' waaaay earlier for now on! It takes 30 mins to read the new posts.

Anyway, yes!...welcome eleighe and cat64129! I can't remember exactly when 'back there' I joined the 'slug madness' but it's a BLAST! I want to write a lot but I just can't so I'll squeeze in a little before bed...

Jim, I was going to say exactly the same thing tonight about 'no ghosts' too. You beat me to it (as is only fitting since you're the pastor here ;o). I DO watch Ghost Hunters but NOT because I believe they're dealing with the spirits of dead people. But it intrigues to see what ways the enemy will work to fool people.

I get Mimosa seedlings all over my yard. The people who used to live next door had one and of course it sent seeds everywhere. I don't have many of them anymore though since they cut their tree down and I've gotten rid of 90% of the seedlings. But...I have ONE more at least and I'd like to transplant it into a huge pot and keep it very small. I don't know if it would survive Winter that way though. Guess I could move it into the garage like I do my rose standard and a few other plants.

LOVE the kitties too! TOO CUTE! I WOVE the kitty cats. My other two went to kitty heaven years ago and now I only have one (Rocky). Jim I can't BELIEVE you took so much sleep meds! Thank goodness you WOKE UP! LOL Be more careful brother. That stuff isn't to be fooled around with you know. ;o)

Darn......I've GOT to sign off for tonight. I have a FULL day tomorrow and then its Trivia night at our church. I can hardly wait. We 'oldsters' (4 couples) will be at one table and we're planning to beat the socks off all those know it all youngins! LOL

Later ya’ll
;o)

Hey Lynnie, I can tell your not superstious. I'm not either. It just makes sense not to walk under a ladder and to turn your cap around three times if a black cat crosses you path. Geez, doesn't everyone do that.

Chezca, I know where Winn Parish is. The only thing is you can't get there from where I live. You have to go somewhere else to start. Is that where your sister lives? Winn isn't to far from Caldwell, where I pastored for so many years. Probably about 85 miles from Delhi. We used to go there and sing back in the 70's when our quartet was going strong. Use to know several people there but they have all died off.

And yeah, I did sleep good. First time in a long time I got ten hours sleep. Can't afford to do that again, liked to worked myself to death the next day. I'm to old to have that kind of energy. "Sleep eating," nah, I remember every bite.

You should really NOT take two ambiens with all your other meds! You're scaring us! My dad takes about a handful of pills after every meal and he hates it! He'd rather get a bunch of shots instead of taking those danged pills! ^-^

oh my goodness, I meant Spock the Vulcan, not Dr Spock the baby doctor! All that rain turned my brain to mush!

Jim my mother taught me not to notice bare feet & chicken droppings, even if I'm standing in it *grin*
That reminds me of a funny story....my sister was graduating high school & my mother wanted a bunch of us to go out to dinner to celebrate...she was kind of emotional about #7 going off to college. She didn't plan ahead far enough & my sister couldn't go, she had to be at the graduation hours early. So mom wasn't too happy. Then she sent me out for a card from her to give my sister. So a couple of sisters, my sister in law, and my parents head out to dinner, kind of running late because a bunch of girls are not quick with hair & makeup. So we're in the doghouse already. then she asks for the card....it says "Congratulations" on the front & on the inside is a caveman couple wearing fake noses & glasses & says "From the Original Fun Couple!" Mother was NOT amused. My sisters are busting a gut trying not to laugh, my father takes the card, he laughs, so now he's in the doghouse...I'm going to hear about this card later, I can just tell. Yes, looking back I can see that wasn't what mom had in mind, but when I bought it I thought it was hysterical. So we get to the restaurant, mom hissing at us to sit down & order quick, we're late...my little sister is standing there shaking her head, face getting redder & redder.."I need to go to the ladies room." My sister in law tries to use this opportunity too, "Me too!" (she never went before leaving the house, which is a big no-no in a big family) My mother says "sit down and order!" So she sits but she's jumping around.... my mother "what's wrong with you??" The waitress comes to take our order and when she gets to my sister, my sister leaps to her feet and yells "there's a bug biting my butt!" and runs off to the ladies room, my sister in law on her heels. That was it, doghouse city for the lot of us. .

Geez, the computer clutz did it again. Never down load something, while you are doing something else. Didn't know it would shut everything down and re-start. I was at my humorus best, too. At my age I can't remember what I was saying. Oh yeah, I was telling the world that I was famous. Chezca googled me and actually found me. Goodness, I think my head is swelling and I don't have enough hair to cover the one I already had. Oh my, what to do? I know, I'll read the posts that tell me how dumb I am for taking two ambien at the same time. Ahhh, problem solved. Head down to normal size. Still not enough hair to cover it.

It's not that I take so much medicine, although I do have to date diabetes medicine, but my wife is a vitamin nut. It's easier to take them than to argue. Getting old!! Use to love to argue with her! It was sooo much fun making up. As the saying goes, "try it, you'll like it.

Lynnie, that is a great story. I do believe you have topped me. Lordy, weren't momma's something. Don't know what I'd do for entertainment without you girls.

It took me forever to write that, kept getting interrupted...I also meant to say ambien is practically an alibi, you know! it's been used as a defense in courts of law. Chezka is right. She can't get there from here?....bet she could on 2 ambien ;) And I won't say a word about the fried food, I'll just assume it's a rare treat for a man who has had heart surgery.....?
grammyjo & jim so when my sisters & brother said the devil made us do it we were not far off the mark?? Why else would i have picked that card?? That was very fresh.

You are fresh but every thing is better fresh, right. Fried foods? Well, told my doctor the day he told me no fried fish was the day I'd be doctor shopping. Actually, I really don't care for meats anymore, especially with the garden producing but we usually go eat seafood once a week. Besides if fish is fried right it isn't greasy. Got to know how its done. Oil has to be so hot it will strike a match. Oh and by the Flip Wilson made a fortune with that phrase.

I'd rather eat FRIED chickin than FRESH chickin ^-^! That much I can promise :-)! Yeah, Mr Jim IS famous! So many hits on google! I googled my name once and I got like 5 hits (all in some foreign language!)... Grilled seafood is the best! But I have to confess, me no likey veggies ^-^ I don know why but my mom could never trick me into eating them! I liked corn, carrots, maters, cukes (and all has to be fresh). The closest I will ever get into eating cooked veggies is french fries ^-^!

Chezka you're so funny!
Jim.... your argument on fried food isn't logical, captain.

Good grief, charlie brown! What's this guys beef with Terry?!? Why haven't they banned his ISP from this site?!? Sheesh! This person sounds like a psycho! Nuff already!

There. Had to get that out of my system... Did you guys see the posts?!? Sooo weird!

Grammatically challenged too! Same treatments as for slugs? what a loony.

Hehe... Good one Pajonica ^-^!

Dear Sweet Lynnie, haven't you noticed by now that logic is not my long suit. This is what is illogical, for 17 years my colesterol numbers was under 150. The good ones were high and the bad ones low. Passed my nuclear stress test every year with flying colors. Ten to twelve minutes on the tread mill. Hey, it has been a long time since you had surgery, let's do a cath. Two grafts 100% blocked, three 90% blockages down my left main (the widow maker don't ya know) and four other blockages from 80% down to 60%. To that was illogical. Nothing blocked in lower extremeties. Second cath after surgery showed no blocks in my neck. Oh well, so far I've had two heart attacks (one major), a melanoma off my back in the third stage (eight years ago), and am a diebetic. Can't find on all their fancy machines where I ever had a heart attack, the melanoma was supposed to be loose (refused any type of treatment) and I'm still going strong. I have got where I can't work over 10 or 12 hours without getting tired and it never gets to hot for me. I do freeze if the temp gets below fifty degrees. See what an illogical ole cuss I am. Didn't mean to sound like I was bragging - just blessed for some unexplainable reason. Maybe so I can pester all of you.

Ya'll better be sweet to me to because Chezca has adopted me as her Gramps.

By the way, have I missed something? Who is the physco? and Where did he post? I thought I had read all of this post.

Over on the beginner gardener forum.

they've taken all of his posts off. let's hope they blocked his main IP address...

This child will keep on coming if they haven't.

yes I saw those late last night (right after saying I was wide awake & then falling asleep lol) he was landscaping 92...all his posts have been removed. It was disturbing wasn't it Chezka? Lotta hate in there. No place for that here! Sounds like he used 3 different names, too, boy that would be work keeping all that straight!

Jim that's how my father was...good numbers, bad plaque :( when it's time, you go, no? I just had to tease you on the fried food.

I wonder what he did to get his account deleted the first time... hmmm... I gues that was a good call on Terri's part :-)!

We should send him bags of slimy slugs!^-^

Hebrews 9:27 says, "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment." It is an appointment we will all keep, won't be early and won't be late. The judgment, I'm not worried about. Got that settled a long time ago. If the appointment is set, why worry about it. Besides, if your from the south, you have to have a certain amount of grease to exist. Keeps the slugs from crawling up your pants leg.

Jim I saw a sign on a church that said 'if you're still alive your mission isn't accomplished.' I thought geez the pressure!! lol
